i can't beleive it's already that time of year again. It seems like basketball season just ended.
Billed as the “Rumble at the River,” the game is the season opener for both teams. Under coach Rich Brooks, Kentucky begins its quest to earn a fourth-consecutive bowl bid for the first time in school history. Miami enters a new era with the debut of head coach Mike Haywood, former Notre Dame offensive coordinator.
UK comes into the lidlifter with an active non-conference win streak of 14 wins, the most since a 17-game string of victories from 1954-1960. The current run includes a 25-19 victory over East Carolina in the 2009 Liberty Bowl marking the first time Kentucky has won bowl games in three consecutive seasons. The Wildcats return 10 starters from last year’s squad; six on offense and four on defense.
RedHawk first-year coach Haywood will direct a team that returns 13 starters from last season. Kentucky and Miami last met in the 1991 season opener in Lexington with the Wildcats edging MU 23-20. UK leads the all-time series that dates back to 1894, 6-4-1.
